Introduction :
It is my objective and endeavour to bring Ex-Catholics back to the Catholic Church in 2015 as well as in 2016. I intend to achieve this through "Catholic Classics".
What I mean is this -- I want Catholics who have left the Catholic Church to read awesome and amazing "Catholic Books" posted on my Catholic Blog.
Many Catholics in India specially in "Metro Cities" have left the Catholic Church and have joined "Non - Denominational Churches".
Most of them are unaware of "Catholic Classics" which encompass and explain the beautiful Catholic Faith.
In Cities like Mumbai in Maharashtra, Panjim and Margao in Goa, Bangalore in Karnataka, and Chennai in Tamil Nadu Catholics have left the Church for a variety of reasons; mostly for monetary reasons but some have also left because of animosity with Priests, or Nuns, or Bishops.
Let me tell you my personal story with regard to "Catholic Classics" and how they changed my life forever.
In Mid- 2012, 3 years back, I was quite angry with Catholic Priests because of negative experiences I had with them while growing up in Mumbai.
In the latter half of 2012, while surfing the "Net" for Catholic Websites I came across a beautiful, outstanding, and extra-ordinary Catholic Website called "E-Catholic 2000"-- "Catholics for the Third Millenium".
Once, I entered this amazing website I happened to stumble across four Catholic Classics--
1) Calvary and the Mass.
2) True Devotion to Mary.
3) Secret of the Rosary.
4) Secret of Mary.
After reading these 4 Catholic Classics over a number of months - I lost all animosity I may have had against Catholic Priests in Mumbai or anywhere else.
I promise you that when you read these 4 books, you will be changed forever and will fall in love with the Catholic - Christian Faith instantly as I did.
These are 4 Books, that positively changes lives and souls.
Read them and you will never be sorry that you visited my "Catholic Blog" accidentally or purposely.
These "Catholic Classics" proudly promote Jesus Christ as the "Centre of our Faith".
The Catholic Church is more than 2000 years old. Let us never forget that.
These Catholic Classics present to us the vibrant Catholic Faith as it has been through the centuries.
Conclusion :
No one will ever regret reading "Catholic Books" @ my blog. These Catholic Books help to build one up in the faith and help to strengthen one about the truths of the Catholic Faith.
I strongly recommend 4 Catholic Classics to Catholics who have left the Church and who might visit my Catholic Blog in the future.

Happy and Holy Reading.
And note the principal that God used the written word as a means of preservation of express Divine revelation, corrective of the magisterium, which includes the novel and unScriptural premise of ensured perpetual magisterial infallibility.
And the Lord said unto Moses, Write this for a memorial in a book... (Exodus 17:14)
As whatever is Scripture is wholly inspired of God, then it is the assured word of God, by which all Truth claims are tested by. Thus the church began in dissent from those who sat in the seat of Moses over Israel, (Mt. 23:2) as instead they followed an itinerant Preacher whom the magisterium rejected, and whom the Messiah reproved them Scripture as being supreme, (Mk. 7:2-16) and established His Truth claims upon scriptural substantiation in word and in power, as did the early church as it began upon this basis. (Mt. 22:23-45; Lk. 24:27,44; Jn. 5:36,39; Acts 2:14-35; 4:33; 5:12; 15:6-21;17:2,11; 18:28; 28:23; Rm. 15:19; 2Cor. 12:12, etc.)
Thanks be to God.

I read them all and I read them at my first posting. I find Catholic literature interested because there is so much wrong with it. You know, "Give a Catholic enough rope and..."
And, BTW, I don't "attack" them. I merely stated that they promote Mary which, if someone were to carefully read these books they would have to agree. But I can understand why Catholics get nervous everytime someone brings this up. Catholics keep insisting they really don't worship Mary all the while publishing books of this nature. Time would be better spend on understanding the word of God.
Nah...
...just waiting for the pigeons to finish off their game so I can play them in the next round.
A person does cleave to Christianity. They are always a sinner, just an inactive one.
No damage at all. I didn't even know there was a typhoon, till I read it on FR.
...and they’ve gotten into the goat’s part of the barn and eating their food!
Did Paul ever, ever include Mary in His letters to the various churches?????
You are correct that is was all about Christ to Paul. Why would Paul write about Mary?
Do we know if Paul ever met Mary, or if he even knew anything about her?
Nobody has control over Jesus.
The Father did. With Jesus, it was always about doing the will of the Father.
To some catholics exposing the truth is an attack on catholicism.
I must be the exception to the rule. I'm pretty active. I got to get going. I have Berean type Catholics coming for Bible study today. 😂🙀🇵🇭
That’s right.
If they want to take credit for it, they should take all the credit.
Or blame.
I can’t offer up what doesn’t belong to me.
Neither did Mary offer up Jesus because He didn’t belong to her.
A person certainly can and does leave Catholicism.
I do not practice any Catholicism any more.
Jesus set me free from bondage to religiosity.
Awe weren’t talking about God but rather human beings.
Context is your friend.

“Berean type Catholics”
LOL!
“Catholics who are not catholics?”
Catholics who hold the word of God as the supreme authority?
If this catches on, the pope will be out of a job before Tammuz’ birthday (Dec. 25)

So, a serious question. Are you a god or what? Your comment implies that you define truth.
